Kavalan Solist Manzanilla Single Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky – 70cl
Manzanilla is much like Fino sherry, which is produced by the sea where the conditions are even more suitable for the growing of flor. Though the maturation is the same as for the Kavalan Fino, the texture is lighter and more delicate with a touch of saltiness together with mineral flavours, which are all the consequences of a stable and thick layer of flor, sea breezes and brine.
TASTING NOTES
COLOUR
Swarthy aurum amber with deep golden highlights.
NOSE
Aromatic and complex — clear honeydew melon, layered fruity character, toffee, cocoa, fresh orange, mint, and subtle Manzanilla-cask saline lift.
PALATE
Balanced full body — slightly salty Manzanilla-cask character, intense fruity depth, plenty of sweetness with vanilla, layered orange, melon, mint, and a fresh fruit complexity unique to Kavalan's tropical maturation.
FINISH
Cider-like, coastal, and lightly salty — sustained orchard fruit, refined Manzanilla saline, vanilla, and a polished cask-strength fade.
ABV: 54% ABV
